— SURPRISE! 🎉 i know that when this is posted, it won't be your birthday yet, but hopefully, that's okay. i've tried rewriting this over and over again, but i'm awful with words lol happy 29th birthday, erin <3 i hope it treats you well!! i absolutely adore this quote and i couldn't think of a better scene to gif for you. i'm going to sound like a broken record in this next part, so prepare yourself mentally lol you're genuinely one of the most talented people i know. your gifs are so recognizable, and i smile every time i see them on my timeline. you are so sweet. you always answer my questions, no matter what they’re about. not to mention, you made me a whole tutorial on how to make gifs! well, not for me, specifically, but you let me use it lol and the fact that you send me stuff that you'll think i like? it makes me so happy, even if i always say that i will have no money because of you. anyways, thanks for not getting tired of my yapping 😭
FINISHED! I imagined for this the idea that Astarion is fully manipulating and seducing Wyll for his own purposes (killing Cazador), and Wyll is well aware of that. What changes is that Astarion feels like being close to Wyll is dragging him away from his need to conquer Cazador's power and "tricking" him into falling in love and caring for him (someone who is under the power of his warlock contract, and thus does not have free will yet).
Astarion is trying very hard to ignore the fact that the dumb idiot he is falling in love with is about to receive the Volobotomy Special right next to him.
